Workplace Violence
As defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, “a workplace violence incident is a verbal, written, or physically aggressive THREAT or ATTACK intended to intimidate, cause injury or death to others in a place of employment”
The GENERAL DUTY CLAUSE, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act directs employers to provide a place of employment that is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm”
Dave Beeman, CPP
Meeting OSHA’s General Duty Clause
While security screening alone cannot prevent workplace violence, effective security screening can be an integral part of a comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention Program; providing a place of employment that is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm”

What is Effective Security Screening?
Effective – Successful in producing a desired or intended result
Security Screening – An electronic, visual, or manual inspection or search of persons, vehicles, packages, and containers for the purpose of detecting the possession or attempted introduction of illegal, prohibited, or other dangerous items into a facility
Dave Beeman, CPP
The SAFETY Act
The SAFETY Act provides important legal liability protections for providers of Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies – whether they are PRODUCTS or SERVICES. The goal of the SAFETY Act is to encourage the development and deployment of EFFECTIVE anti-terrorism products and services by providing liability protections
www.safetyact.gov
Dave Beeman, CPP
Benefits of the SAFETY Act
Designations and Developmental Testing and Evaluation Designations provide the following benefits to companies:
• Liability = Insurance required by DHS
• Exclusive action in Federal Court
• No Joint and Several Liability for non-economic damages
• No punitive or prejudgment interest
• Recovery reduced by amounts from collateral sources
Certification ALSO allows a seller of an anti-terrorism technology to assert the Government Contractor Defense for claims arising from acts of terrorism

Dave Beeman, CPP
Benefits of the SAFETY Act continued
The protections afforded to the SELLERunder the SAFETY Act, extend to the BUYERS of the Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (“QATT”) as well
Dave Beeman, CPP
How to Establish Effectiveness – SAFETY Act
• Successful testing in an operational environment• Evidence of performance metrics
• Probability of detection• Maintenance and training
• Suitable performance of past deployments documented
• Domain expertise appropriate and available
• Internal and external audits favorable
• QA plans documented
• Repeatability proven
Dave Beeman, CPP
Why Bring up the SAFETY Act?
Anti–terrorism is ALSO anti-crime AND anti-violence – the principles that establish effectiveness are the SAME

GSX 2019 - Session 5111 Prevent Workplace Violence Through Security Screening 5
Dave Beeman, CPP
Purpose of Security Screening
To find prohibited, illegal, stolen or dangerous items
• Prohibited – impacts comfort, enjoyment, peace
• Illegal – impacts comfort, enjoyment, peace and SAFETY
• Stolen – impacts profit and loss; job security
• Dangerous – impacts SAFETY, profit and loss; job security
Screening processes remain the same. What changes is what you are looking for and how you will respond when you find it
Dave Beeman, CPP
Principles of Effective Screening
• Plan and develop effective policies and procedures• Know what you are looking for and why• Choose the proper method• Know how you will respond
• Communicate the process
• Establish an effective screening area
• Properly staff the screening area
• Properly TRAIN and TEST your screening staff
• Properly document the process
Dave Beeman, CPP
What are you looking for and why?
•Why do I need to conduct screening?• Comfort / Enjoyment• Security / Loss Prevention• SAFETY
•What am I screening for?• Prohibited• Illegal• Stolen• Dangerous

Choosing the Proper Method
Initial Screening• Physical Search
• Bag Search• Divested items• Pat Down
• Metal Detection• WTMD• HHMD
• X-Ray• Trace Detection
Secondary Screening• HHMD• WTMD• Physical Search• Trace Detection
Considerations:• Speed• Space• Special Interests
Dave Beeman, CPP
Method Considerations – Speed
How quickly must you get people in?•Arrival time / pattern
•Number of persons
•Number of entrances
•Amount / type of possessions
Dave Beeman, CPP
Method Considerations – Space
Do you have enough space and/or power?•Queuing / Preparation
• Initial search
• Secondary search
• Special needs
• Prohibited items collection / disposal / storage

Dave Beeman, CPP
Method Considerations – Special Interests
What is the culture?• Processes for
• Employees• VIPs / Dignitaries• Visitors / Contractors• Persons with special needs• Enhanced threat levels
• Convenience / Intrusiveness• Exceptions• Personal possessions• Alarm response / physical search
Dave Beeman, CPP
Method Considerations continued
Metal Detection• Fast• Effective• Unobtrusive
• Expensive• Organics• Small items
Trace Detection• Fast• Less space
• Expensive• False positives
Physical Search• Slow• Effective
• Cheap• Intrusive
X-ray• Fast• Effective• Unobtrusive
• Expensive• More space• Power
Dave Beeman, CPP
The effectiveness of any screening equipment is totally dependent on
the SKILL and DILIGENCE of the screener

Dave Beeman, CPP
Once a method is selected, the process does not change; only
WHAT you are looking for and
HOW you respond to finding it
Dave Beeman, CPP
It is necessary for security, but it is for the “other guy,” not for me
Dave Beeman, CPP
The Public’s View
Because they view screening as necessary for security, but not for them, they more likely to:
• Attempt to smuggle prohibited items into the facility
• Attempt to deceive the screener
The screener’s job is to RESOLVE all alarms

Dave Beeman, CPP
How Will You Respond?
• Alarms – how will you resolve them?
• Unresolved Alarms – who determines access or next steps?
• Found Items – what will you do?
• Document?
• Disposal?
• Deny Access?
• Involve Management?
• Involve law enforcement?
Dave Beeman, CPP
How Will You Respond? continued
• Disposal?
• Garbage?
• Lock box?
• Deny access?
• Check it?
• Involve management?
• Involve law enforcement?
Dave Beeman, CPP
Communicating the Process
• Screening methods
• Prohibited items
•Communicate by• Orientation / Education / Training• Signage• Credentials / Tickets• Website• Barkers / Pacers / Line Control

Signage
• Warnings• Metal detection• X-ray
• Prohibited items
• Right to refuse
• Refusals / Threatening statements
• Lanes• Express• Special needs
Dave Beeman, CPP
Consent and the Right to Refuse
• Every person must CONSENT to be screened• Every person has the right to:
• Refuse screening of themselves or their possessions• Withdraw their consent to the screening of themselves or
their possessions
People DO NOT have the right to enter the facility without being screened
Dave Beeman, CPP
An Effective Screening Area
• Ingress / Egress• Special needs
• Queuing / Preparation
• Initial Search
• Secondary Search
• Response / Refusal
• Equipment – cameras, tables, barriers, templates, etc.
• Prohibited item collection / disposal

Staffing Levels
In order to ensure effective screening, you must have the appropriate number of staff to perform the function and limit their responsibilities
• Credentials
• Physical Search
• Metal Detection
• X-ray
• Trace Detection
• Response
• Alarm Resolution
Dave Beeman, CPP
Staffing Levels continued
There should be at lease two screeners per screening activity – one to conduct initial screening and one to RESOLVE alarms (secondary screening)
Also serves as a witness

Fatigue, Familiarity and Surveillance
A well-developed layered security program should have a means to perform regular assessments of capability and effectiveness

A Study of Pre-Attack Behaviors of Active Shooters in the United States Between 2000 and 2013
This is “Phase II” of the FBI’s 2014 report titled “A Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States Between 2000 and 2013.”
Some interesting findings:
• Active shooters take time to plan and prepare for the attack – 77%
• The most common grievances were related to an adverse interpersonal or employment action against the shooter – 49%
• At least one of the victims was specifically targeted by the shooter – 64%
• Active shooters often attacked people and places with which they were already familiar – 86%
